Women in the Woods is a collaboration between UNH Cooperative Extension, NH Timberland Owners Association, the Forest Society, and other partners aimed at connecting women forest landowners, managers, and stewards with the resources, skills, and community they need to make informed stewardship decisions that promote healthy forest resources.
